A License 10 Incorporate the TwiI
City Park Association Issued--some
thing Greatly Needed in Rock Isl
and.
There is nothing that Rock Island il
more in need of than driving park, bu
the indications now are that the spirit o.
enterprise which has caused so much i'm
provement in the city this year is &c
supply this want.
On Wednesday Secretary of State De-
ment licensed the incorporation of the
Twin City Park association of Rock Isl
and this morning the official documents
were received by Mr.. Saville johnson
who with Messrs W B. Ferguson ant
l.. s. McCabe compose the incorporators
The organization is called the Twin
City Park Association" and the capita
stock is placed at $4,000. The object
is ITO purchase and maintain a driving
park. "
The gentlemen whose names appear az
incorporates, hope with the aid of Others
who are interested. to purchase a suita
BILE tract of land between the two cities
and lay it out with driving COURSE
and other attractions so that our people
may have place for an evenings drive
when so disposed. Many other cities
have established driving parks, and in al
cases they have been very successful as a
place of public pleasure as well as sue
cess financially. The Davenport driving
park was very largely patronized by
Rock Island all last summer, but when
our people became tired of driving three
miles to the park to start with, the asso'
citation went under. Now that every
thing bids fair for park of our own
there is no doubt as to its being heartily
supported.

A FLYER
Kahlke Bros. proprietors of the Rock
Island boat yards, and steamboat builders
and repairers of wide experience, have for
some time experimenting with new ar
rangement for river navigation, and if the
plans which they have IN contemplation
are carried into execution, they will at no
distant date put upon the Father of
Waters what will stir up the river be
tween st. Louis and st Paul at lively
rate. 1t will be hustler and no mistake
and all the speed that the modern loco
motive can muster will be nowhere beside
it he plan is to use immense cylinders
instead Of the hull: these cylinders to be
supplied with paddles and will make,
when in operation. 1000 revolutions per
minute, and revolve with such rapidly
that they will run over sand bars or any
other like obstruction. The decks, etc
will be built above the cylinders, and as
there will be no wheels or other machin-
cry which will be apt to get out of repair
the proposed new boat is looked upon as

4 NEW Hr DGE FENCE.

W. N. Wiser, Of Kentucky, is II the city
with a view to introducing new hedge
fence, which is being used quite extensive
ly throughout Kentucky and the eastern
states Mr.. Wiser is the patentee OF the
fence and thus explains his plan. The
hedge is planted and permitted to grow
undisturbed until the second year. Then
the branches are trimmed OFF leaving the
stalk Of the hedge bare; the dirt IS removed
from the roots of the plants
and the side shoots all cut
off. The stalks are then bent down
alternately and in opposite direction and
firmly bound together firmly bound to-
gether, forming q lattice work After this
is done the plant puts forth a growth
which fills up the intervening space form
ing a fence sufficiently strong to turn
1hls fence, Mr.. Wiser says, has given sat
isfacticn in the older states and thinks 1t
would do so here if adopted.
Some OF the advantages claimed are, that
II can be constructed at Il
comparatively small cost; that it makes
one OF the most beautiful and attractive Of
fences. He also thinks that one OF the OBJ
jects sought to be gained BY the govern
ment in urging the planting OF trees over
the prairies would be acquired, in that
these long lines Of green hedge fences
would tend to draw moisture, and also
form somewhat OF a barrier TO the cold
winds in winter and the hot in summer.
Moreover the usual objection urged to
hedge fences, that they are so difficult to
control, WI not apply to this system Of
training, for by it The plants are some
what dwarfed and are thus from the first
easily managed
Mir Wiser hopes to gain the assistance Of
some capitalists here in the introduction
OF his patent and thinks that while it has
met with such great success in the east
that the needs Of the western country viii
make it an enterprise well worth the a-ten
ton and Investigation Of the people Of
